John Ferguson of
Radio Times awarded the film two stars out of five, describing it as a lacklustre remake that failed to capture the charm of the original 1945 film.
Empire reviewed the film on release, calling it “competently made” but only “vaguely amusing”, adding that it “features enough fake snow to cover Alaska.” Writing for
Film Freak Central, Bill Chambers was strongly critical, calling the film “the sort of unqualified failure that finds something like thirty dozen ways to redefine ‘fatuous’,” and describing it as an unsuccessful remake of the 1945 Barbara Stanwyck film. ==See also==
